Astral Park Community Orchard will be holding its annual Orchard Day on Saturday (August 1) from 2-5pm with games for children including Apple Bobbing, Put a Bee in a Flower (ball game) and The Longest Apple Peel – last year’s winner was an amazing 1.76metres!

There will also be wildlife walks for adults and children where you can help with a wildflower, bee and bug survey. Homemade cakes and drinks will be available to enjoy while listening to music on the Orchard Juke Box.

A spokesman said: “The orchard is located at the end of Middleton Way next to Astral Park playing field and was planted in December 2011 with the help of volunteers, of all ages, from local residents and was probably the first orchard to be planted in Leighton Buzzard for generations.”
